Ibm wheelwriter 10 - setting impression pressure

When i press the code key and click on the q key the green lights for the impression pressure blink in order. but when i lift my fingers off the pressure always goes back to 1. How do i get the heavier pressures to 'stick'. All the other code keys work fine.

Thanks for clearing up the mystery about the impression mode vs space setting functions of those lights.

Is there a place on this site where I can see what the solenoid plungeris? Or could you describe exactly where it is? On my wheelwriter 10series II I'm not sure what you're referring to. I think I see 2 or 3solenoids but none of them have plastic caps. THANKS!

The older models have a key on the R. side that says line space, press that and the lights will change to indicate spacing.On the later ones you must use the code key with with the line space key in green on the R. side.

You can try code I to increase the impression but probably the print solenoid is gummy or the plastic solenoid is broken.

2 the store light should blink
3 the ARtn light comes on
